I wasn't completely comfortable in the footy culture because I wasn't that comfortable in my own skin, which I am now. I'd fit in better now, but I don't miss the training and the injuries you get playing footy.
Sometimes when you're writing a song and that song comes into your head, it definitely comes from somewhere, like a real experience.
I'm a folk singer-songwriter. I am pretty poppy though.
I'm definitely not a super great guitarist. Ultimately, I just write a lot of love songs.
I just got a band together in mid-2012, and we played our first show in October of that year.
